Facebook provides us with ten tips for spotting fake news - on paper

It is only one month until the Great Britain’s General Election of June 8. Facebook is wary of a problem that can influence it and other important political events, namely the issue of fake news. False news are nothing new, eh heh, but have become particulary troublesome during the last US’ presidental campaign, during which both sides’ supporters accused one another of spreading fakes news about their candidates (example above – yes, supporters of that orange guy, that news is not real). Because of this, Facebook has issued a list of ten things you should do in order to make sure whether or not the news is fake. Interesting part is, FB issued this list not on the Internet, but on paper – it was printed by every major UK newspaper like The Times or The Daily Telegraph.

Don’t know about you guys, but if I have to double and triple-check everything I read or watch, something is not right. Something is very, very much not right.
